The three unique and important features of type A LCVD nanofilm—imperturbable surface (Chapter 29), nanoscale molecular sieve (Chapter 34), and new surface state of material (Chapter 24) make LCVD coating an ideal tool in preparation of biomaterials. It should be reiterated that these three features of LCVD films are limited to type A plasma polymers described in Chapter 8, and type B plasma polymers should be excluded in LCVD coatings for biomaterials based on the concept of imperturbable surface. The particularly important aspect is that the LCVD nanofilm becomes the new surface state of the substrate material, i.e., it is not just a coating placed on the surface. The first and second features describe the nature of the new surface state. 

Photoactivated redox proteins will play important roles in the future development of artificial photosynthetic systems. The unique participation of the protein matrices in photoinduced charge separation and the possibility of implanting catalytic sites in the protein indicate that tailored photoenzymes will be important components for the light-driven synthesis of fuels and valuable chemicals, e.g., CO2 and N2 fixation and amino acid synthesis. The areas of bioelectronics and opto-bioelectronics represent exciting interdisciplinary ventures for chemists, biologists, physicists and materials scientists. The advances in these fields oflFer compelling opportunities for the development of electronic biomaterial-based devices.

Ito et al (16) used combinatorial bioengineering methods to produce new biomaterials based on amino acids, nucleic acid, and non-natural components. In a different way, Silvestri et al (7) produced biomaterials by combining enzymes with synthetic polymers some examples were combinations of a-amylase with poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(ethylene glycol), and poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate). Jong (9) used soy protein as a reinforcement material in elastomers and observed an increase in the rubber modulus.

Photopolymerizable systems have received a lot of recent attention in biomaterial applications due to the ability to rapidly form a solid polymer (gel) from a liquid precursor solution (monomer or macromer) with spatial and temporal control under physiological conditions. The development of cytocompatible systems has provided the ability to form materials in the presence of proteins, cells, and tissues to allow for minimally invasive biomaterial-based therapies. In particular, photopolymerizable systems have been used extensively as dental restoratives, controlled microenvironments to study cellular behavior and develop tissue substitutes, and to encapsulate growth fartors and cytokines in a polymer matrix for controlled release applications.

Biomaterials in general are based on the materials groups metals, polymers and ceramics [3]. Typical metallic biomaterials are based on stainless steel, cobolt based alloys and titanium or titanium alloys and amalgam alloys. Polymeric biomaterial composites from monomers are based on amides, ethylene, propylene, styrene, methacrylates, and/or methyl methacrylates. Biomaterials based on ceramics are found within aU the classical ceramic families traditional ceramics, special ceramics, glasses, glass-ceramics, coatings and chemically bonded ceramics (CBC).
